REPRESENTING 33,645,880 PREFERRED SHARES
Medellín, Colombia, July 16, 2007
Bancolombia S.A. (the “Bank”) (NYSE: CIB) today announced that it has priced its public offering of 8,411,470 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), representing 33,645,880 preferred shares (the “Equity Offering”), at US$ 33.25 per ADS amounting to US$ 279.7 million.
The Bank has also granted the underwriters the option to purchase up to an additional 1,261,720 ADSs to cover over-allotments, if any. The ADSs trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CIB.” The Equity Offering is expected to close on July 20, 2007, subject to customary closing conditions.
The aggregate amount of the Equity Offering combined with the aggregate amount of the preemptive rights offering in Colombia that ended on July 9, 2007 will result in approximately US$ 445.0 million in proceeds to the Bank, of which US$ 165.7 million1 were derived from the preemptive rights offering in Colombia.
UBS Securities LLC is acting as the global coordinator for the Equity Offering, and UBS Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch & Co. are acting as the joint book-running managers.
The ADSs are being offered pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement (including a prospectus and prospectus supplement) filed with the SEC. Copies of the final prospectus supplement relating to the Equity Offering, when available, may be obtained from UBS Securities LLC, 299 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10171 or by phone at (212) 821-3000 or Merrill Lynch & Co., 4 World Financial Center, New York, NY 10080 or by phone at (212) 449-1000.
